Free speech gets a major boost (in the a**)

So, young Indians cannot tell their friends in what they like on Facebook, without being “pre-screened” by Harvard types (or hauled into a police station by Shiv Sena goons). So, bloggers cannot publish their “online private diaries” without the sword of 66(A) hanging over their heads.

There is a pretty long list of publishing taboos both in the East and in the West; only the nature of the list is different. I devote an entire chapter called “The Taboos” to these taboos in my book, “The Killing of an Author,” which was published, but could not be distributed in the Land of You Know Who and You Know What.
